Objectives: We got a good effect in two patients not by subcutaneous but by intra-articular bee venom injection treatments at acute traumatic arthritis of elbow joint, so report it.
Methods: We used only intra-articular bee venom injection treatments at acute traumatic arthritis of elbow joint. After measured the VAS(visual analogue scale) and ROM(range of motion) of elbow joint, we analyzed bee venom injection effect.
Results and Conclusions: The symptoms(swelling, pain) and the functions of elbow joint were quickly improved through intra-articular bee venom injection treatments. One case was improved that Rt. elbow joint flexion was increased from 60° to 150°, extension was increased from 20° to 0°. The other case was improved that Lt. elbow joint flexion was increased from 90° to 150°, extension was increased from 30° to 0°, and both were decreased in VAS. The results suggest that bee venom intra-articular injection has acute pain reduction, anti-inflammation effect.
